Akbar Band

Akbar Band is situated at D 321 on Okhla Main Road in Jasola Vihar. This place is usually a bit loud. If we aren't talking, someone is likely checking an instrument or moving equipment around. We have uniforms hanging on the racks along the wall. They’re bright and stand out against the plain room. The floor is concrete and has some scuff marks from all the heavy cases we move in and out. There are a few benches for the guys to sit on while they wait for the next job. Okhla Main Road is always packed with people and cars, so there is a constant hum of engines outside our door. We keep our schedules on a big whiteboard that has some stains on it. Sometimes the dust from the road gets inside, so we have to clean the instruments quite often. We don't have a fancy front desk. If you come in, you'll probably just see someone sitting on a stool or fixing a strap on a drum. It’s a practical space for a working band. We’ve got a small mirror on the wall for when the guys need to check their hats. There is a water cooler in the corner that we use a lot. It’s a busy life, especially during the wedding season, but this shop is where everything gets organized. We just focus on keeping the gear ready.
